    That's probably the right button. If you press it, it should come up with a dialog of where you want to save the file, or maybe it automaticly saves the file in your default downloads folder. Have you tried it? It wouldn't break your pc if you press that button

    The fact that you don't put a smiley behind that makes it sound more creepy than it already is

    You can download the file by right clicking on the download link and then choose something like "Save As". The exact text depends on your OS, Browser and language. The browser opens the file as text, instead of downloading it, because it thinks it's a text file (which it basicly is), that's why you see the text instead of downloading it. Also, in the future, if you qoute a previous submitted set, don't qoute the image

    @Rbrt09090: The images you use in the last two sets are too big. According to the EuroBricks rules, images may be a maximum of 1024 x 768 (or 768 x 1024) pixels. I see you uploaded your images to Bricksafe, and Bricksafe has a feature that autmaticly creates different sizes of your images. If you hover over a thumbnail, you san see a little menu to choose which size you want. Click the one you want, and then copy/paste the link.

    Hello Rbrt09090! Welcome to EuroBricks and the LDraw topic It looks like there's nothing wrong with your model or your entry I do have a recommendation: I see you've uploaded your image and file to EuroBricks. While there's nothing wrong with that, the maximum amount of space is quite low. I would recommend to use a cloud such as DropBox, Onedrive, Google Drive etc.etc. Or use Bricksafe, a site dedicated to hosting Lego files.

    As I said earlier on the LDraw forums, I'd like to see something like the mirror functionality in SR3D Builder. That's one of the things I miss the most in LDcad. The mirror functionality in SR3D was simple to use, yet very stable and time-saving. So, in short, I'd like to see the ability for the user to set a mirror and then place parts on one side and LDcad automaticly mirrors them on the other side. If needed, I'd like to help creating a list with parts that need another part to be correctly mirrored (such as wings or wedges).

    I have to agree, partly. There's nothing wrong with the gui, it doesn't hurt the eyes, it works flawless. It just could be a bit better. But I think the GUI won't be changed, at least not in the forseeable future. I've read on the LDraw forums that the gui is all rendered using openGL. So, every "window" is a seperate instance of OpenGL and thus it's not something like Windows forms. I may be partly wrong, but that is what I can remember

    I think I have to disagree with you. But, this time seriously and about the topic: I think the book is quite... simple. I mean, how much Technic things can you do with 30 parts except for really simple mechanisms?

    Sounds like a good idea. So, this is the new topic About your snapping problem: I don't have any problems at all, I can just snap them in the middle of the bracket...

    As suggested by papacharly, here's a topic about LDcad to discuss and help each other. What is LDcad? LDcad is an LDraw cad program being developed by Roland Melkert. The current version is 1.4, which can be downloaded here. For more information about LDCad, visit the website (and make sure to read the quick manual!). The features are (copy/pasted from the website): Windows and Linux support. Multi-threaded (background) loading of parts. Fast detailed real-time 3D rendering. Basic part snapping on growing collection of (official) parts. Integrated portable flexible parts support (springs, hoses, bands). Script based animation. Full MPD Support. Part grouping. Part ghosting. Nested editing. Relative grids. Multiple file editing (open as many files you like). Instruction stepping support. Full undo/redo. Copy/paste from to other LDraw software. Highly customizable part and color bins. Growing collection of example models. From my own experience, LDcad is quite difficult for beginners and can be quite unintuituve. This may sounds harsh, but it is (from my experience at least). But, if you get through the difficult part, a wonderdful piece of software is available to you and when you know to do, it's actually quite easy. Almost as easy as LDD (if we use that as a benchmark for easiness). It feels a bit like SR3D builder, but it doesn't have the user-friendly way of animation. It doesn have other nice features. It's really worth to take a look at! Roland is most active on the LDraw forums, so if you want to directly talk with him, I recommend going here. Of course, you can post all comments, questions and disscustions regarding LDcad in this topic too. So, this is the topic on EB to talk about LDCad [continuation from the LDraw sets topic] LDcad is quite nice. I've been using it for the past few weeks and I'm quite happy with it. Btw, make sure to turn on part-snapping if you haven't already, in my experience it makes building a lot easier. I just tried to find this setting, but I can't find it anymore. Maybe it's turned on by default nowadays, I can remember I had to set it on... Oh, and if you set Anti Aliassing on the edges on (AA), it makes the view a lot better

    Very nice Blakbird! I"m going to buy the book, but being able to watch these images in their full-size glory is amazing I also spotted this beautiful truck. I've never seen the model, even though the Brickshelf page says it's from 2011.
  12. legolijntje
    Instructions are made using LDraw. the model can be made in a variety or programs, such as MLcad, SR3D Builder, LDCad, BrickSmith etc. The instructions are then created in LPub. Don't underestimate it though, it's quite a lot of work. Not difficult as soon as you know what to do, but it's just a lot of work But, let's stay on topic here. If you have any more questions about LDD, LDraw or anything related to the digital side of Lego, you can ask them here

    Looks very, very nice Blakbird! I notived a little problem in the 2013 image; there's a hovercraft inside the excavator
  14. legolijntje
    I have that model since it came out and it's a really nice model. It's quite simple in terms of functions, but the game console and TV in the back are very original (and the unfolding works flawless). I hope someone will take on your part request at the LDraw forums
  15. legolijntje
    Here in the Netherlands it's also gone, but if you search on a set number, you can just find the Technic sets and you can buy them. So, I think they're just changing some things.
  16. legolijntje
    Take a look here or here for example.

    Well, MLcad is indeed very outdated and very difficult to build (especially with Technic). SR3D Builder is like a combination between the advanced features and huge part library LDraw has to offer and the easiness of building of LDD. It also has automatic part snapping like in LDD. SR3D Builder is also very optimized for Technic, with (simple) animation and rotating gears and stuff like that. However, sadly, the developer of SR3D Builder (Sergio) passed away a few weeks ago. Although, it still works amazingly, it probably won't be updated anymore since it was closed source. So, I recently started to try out LDCad. It's a little more difficult to learn than SR3D Builder (and a little less intuitive) but as you build a few hours with it, you start to find it a lot easier. And, the developer is updating the application very regulary with new or optimized features. If you have any more questions or you want help with either LDraw or LDD. You can post that in this EB subforum

    He uses LDraw. I don't know exactly which software he uses (there are several LDraw cad programs), but's it's probably MLCad or SR3D Builder. Although, I can recommend LDCad too (but it's not the most easy to learn one...)

    Why don't you create the TIV-3 from the Discovery serie Stormchasers? I'm a big fan of that "car", because, well, it's just amazing It's almost exactly the same as the one from the movie Into The Storm. But, the TIV is a real machine. I've tried to make it a while (about 2 years ago), but I just never really finished it (like I always do...). Maybe a bit off topic, but that movie is as unoriginial as it can get: it's 50% the Stormchasers series from Discovery Channel and 50% a documentary about a huge Storm a few years ago from National Geographic (forgot the name of the documentary). Really! It's a fun film though.

    And here is the US version of the previous posted model: 590 - Engine Co. 9 - Town Errors: - All stickers are missing Download the model here.

    I'm working on 76023 The Tumbler, but as a little break (all those angles!), I made this old set: 374 - Fire Station - Town Errors: - Missing all stickers Download the model here.
  22. legolijntje
    Yes, LDraw also has it's limitations. The limit depends on the software you use (for example MLcad, LDCad, SR3D Builder or BrickSmith) and the specs of your computer, but I think they will also struggle with half a million parts. Can't you split your model in three or four pieces?
  23. legolijntje
    At the moment I only upload LDraw models without any missing parts/stickers/prints/whatever and I think that will be the main focus, but I can always add more information about the file in the "notes" section.
  24. legolijntje
    I've been in contact with Huw from Brickset and I can now upload and manage LDraw files at Brickset. Here you can view the list. You can also see an LDraw tab at a set details page (notice that those tabs are only updated once every 24 hours, so the linked list is the most up to date). It's not an official feature yet and we're still testing a bit. We would like to incorporate some kind of WebGL viewer at some point, but at the moment, the main focus is to just being able to download the models. Btw, I will never upload someone's files without permission of the author.

    That looks like a nice organized mess. Nice collection
